About Me

Hello, my name is Brian and this is my green energy blog. I love the environment and I want to do all I can to help to protect and preserve it. Although I do not work as a green energy professional, I have spent many hours reading environmental protection and energy blogs. I visit the local library twice a week so I can check out the latest scientific journals. I have installed a small wind farm and some solar panels on my home so I can reduce my dependancy on fossil fuel. I hope you enjoy my blog and find it useful.
